A Review on Challenges of Electric Vehicles
Abstract: Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming more common place in the transportation sector in recent times. As the current trend suggests that this mode of transport is likely to replace IC-Engine vehicles in the future EVs can cause tremendous changes on the environment, power system, and other related sectors. There are possibilities of immense environmental benefits also because the EVs can reduce the greenhouse gas emissions produced by the older transportation …

Job Shop and Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problems: Heuristic Optimization
Abstract: The development of modern wide-area engineering problems, as well as recent trends towards the creation of sustainable engineering systems for daily objectives have given birth to complex studies addressing technical, but also economical and environmental, aspects related to simple or multi-objective optimization problems. Recently, heuristic and (meta) heuristic approachesthat apply combinations of different heuristics with or without traditional search and optimization techniques were proposed to solve such problems. This paper …

Use of Alternative Fuels in Indian Cement Industry: A Review
Abstract: The making of Portland cement is an energy concentrated process. It produces significant pollution and uses huge amounts of non-renewable energy. With growing pressures to cut greenhouse gas emissions due to cement manufacture, research and expansion of fuel alternatives and their effect on the manufacturing process have become an industry focal point. The intrinsic properties of sintering cement in a rotary kiln allows for a large number of fuels to …
